PORCH PONDERINGS

Leaps

Today is February 29th. Leap day - Leap year. Our modern day nod to the inability of modern man to adjust time to the sun. Gregorian calendar adjustment or Julian calendar adjustment? Who remembers this? Now that I write this off-the-cuff little blog I will have to go and check this.

Just like those folk who have birthdays that fall on holidays, I pity even more those who have birthdays on February 29th. Imagine only having a birthday once every 4th year! Yes I know, you can have it before or after, but on the real, actual day. But then that would make it very special.

Leap baby. Leap year. Leap ahead. Leap and bounds! Leap frog. Leaps and peeps. Leaps and bounds. A leap of faith. Oh my, the fun you could have with this. Give it a day or two and write about it.

Now I have to go and see if any contests have this as a prompt.
